"...wonderful review of "Raggedy Man." I am honored--and also impressed by your reviewer's close reading of the story. She clearly has read the book carefully, which only makes the review more meaningful. I am also grateful for the exposure to the book among such a wide audience and for the posting of the its title and your review to so many media sites. Thanks so much!"
